Youno — A Self Career-Discovery App for Students.

Youno is an original app concept designed to help students understand themselves better before making academic or career decisions.
The idea behind Youno is simple: instead of letting marks define a student’s future, the app encourages self-awareness, exploration, and informed choices based on interests, strengths, and mindset.

Youno is built to feel friendly, supportive, and motivating rather than strict or academic.
